It might be the Monolith.
Here is the floating island as seen from the lifepod.
And here is the huge mountain opposite of the island to the North East
>Dat high up cave
>Flying monster, maybe
What all is in the water around it?
I'm not sure. Where I took the picture was the edge of a kelp forest going into a grassy plateaus biome. From my previous exploration I think its just beyond the Koosh zone biome. I never could go beyond the koosh zone though since I'm terrified of reapers. Well, I guess the abyss in general. I just can't take it staring out into the deep and not knowing whats there.
I'd suggest going to the very bottom so you have at least some way to know there's ground below you
As for reapers, well, they don't really pop up everywhere you know. They only really spawn in certain places, not every place there is deep sand
It's just beyond the Kelp Forest. No Reapers there.
There's a bunch of caves underneath with Magnetite and Lithium and a bunch of ore chunks.
Nothing really hostile.
I am so building my base here.
Bad idea man. If there's Magnetite, Lithium, and it's near the Koosh Zone then it means only one thing. This is the Mountains biome that's being worked on. The one that's going to be the next spawn area for your favorite buddy Mr. Chuckles the ass Reaper. Now he'll be in the Dunes, Mountain, and near the aurora. I say bail out immediately. You don't want to be in a seabase there when Satan's pet comes for you.
found him lurking way down low, near the Mushroom Forest.
JUST when I thought I had found the perfect place for my evil lair.
At least we'll have Torpedos for the Seamoth soon, maybe then we can wipe the smug looks off of these Reapers
EDIT: ok I cant see that pointy island, but I did find a place under water where the magnetite lives and the reaper. Be careful down there, the reaper is still swimming in and out of the rock face so he can sneak up on ya. Dont think they have fixed that around the aurora either.
Dude you are literally a stone's throw away from the island. Head up to the surface and look around.
The torpedoes are non-lethal though. All they do is create an underwater vortex that flings all small lifeforms away in all directions. Don't know how effective that will be against a reaper.
I went over there and my Framerate was terrible, partly due to my computer not being strong enough for the minimum settings, partly due to the giant air bridge I'm making, and partly due to this being a new area. I couldn't find anything near there because of this and when I went Freecam mode this happened.
I think I've had enough weirdness for one day.
I used freecam mode to go over to the mountain and liked what I found. Its an island just like the floater island with plant life, birds, and awesome caves. If it wasn't for the reaper I'd build a base in the cave at the top of the mountain.
Anyways, I want to check this out, I wonder if we will see a creature living in the /on the island
Well, I believe the reapers are guarding these areas because they're still in development. For example, before the underwater islands were completed a reaper was guarding that area as well.
Weird. I wonder why the devs decided to put a reaper in that area... it's not like it will actually scare people away if they really want to see the area xD
I hope the Emperor is (and I will keep hoping for this) near a massive open ocean biome
That makes sense. The Reapers must be near the Aurora still because the Devs aren't done with their plans for it (Not to mention giving us a challenge). The Dunes Biome I can understand as well since there's not much out there yet. The mountain however, I don't know what the devs are thinking for this, I just hope the Reaper leaves soon
